Resizing Widgets

Buttons and frames can only be resized if they do not have any icons loaded. If a button has one
or more bitmaps, the width of the button is fixed to the smallest width of all its bitmaps and the
height of the button is fixed to the smallest height of all its bitmaps.The same is true for frames
except that a frame can have at most one bitmap.
If a button or frame has no icons, you can resize as follows:
1. Select the button or frame you want to resize by clicking on it. A red frame will appear
around the selected button or frame.
2. Release the left mouse button and move over the edge of the button or frame until the
cursor changes into a resize cursor with the desired orientation.
3. Hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor to drag the edge underneath it
and resize the button or frame.The status bar shows the current size of the selected
button or frame.
Alternatively, you can use the cursor keys to resize the button or frame. Hold down the SHIFT
key to move the top or left edge, and hold down a CTRL key to move the bottom or right
edge.To move an edge faster with the cursor keys, hold down the SPACE bar at the same time.
Note You can only resize a button or frame if it has no icons.

Loading New Icons Into Widgets

Every button or frame can have its own unique artwork..You must create the artwork in a
graphics program capable of saving the file as a .bmp or bitmap such as the Paint program
included with Windows (in Accessories).
Bitmaps take up memory and having many different bitmaps means there is less room for other data,
like IR codes.You can help minimize the memory bitmaps require by reusing bitmaps, where possible, on
your buttons and frames. RC5000 Setup aliases to identical icons, saving memory.
1. Double click on the widget you want to load the new icon into.
2.The property window appears.
3. Click on the Load button underneath the bitmap you want to load, and select the
Windows bitmap file. RC5000 Setup can load any Windows bitmap file that has 1, 4, or 8
bits per pixel and is at most 240 by 219 pixels (the size of a panel). RC5000 Setup will
automatically convert a color bitmap into a grayscale version more suitable for display on
your RC5000.
Once the icon is loaded, you can click on it to see it full size.
Reminder All of a button's four states must have the same size icon. If you load different
sizes for the same button, RC5000 will size the button to the smallest size and
crop all of the other icons.
